I'm after hard-wiring my old GPS 2+ into the dash of my Land Rover and
fitting a roof mounted external antenna. I can't seem to find any
information on what antenna voltage (if any) th GPS 2+ outputs. The
antenna I'm looking to use needs between 2.7 and 5.5V.
Does anyone know what the output voltage is or will it work for me to
just put a multimeter across the BNC socket to measure it?

Just check with the multimeter. IIRC it is 5V.

Thanks. It is 5V - just stuck the multimeter across the socket.
